Two years ago life changed for me I knew people came and went but I didn’t expect her to go. After a few months I decided I wanted to make changes for myself. For the first time the reason was pure it was for myself and not others.
Started eating better and working out 4 days a week. Nothing crazy but I had my best friend to give me advice and help me through the weight loss process
I started out at 230 lbs as a 5’10 man and I definitely looked like I had weight to lose. In about a year I lost 45 of those lbs! But being the person I am I became complicit. My diet while losing weight only had things I didn’t really like much but I hoped my pallet would change; it didn’t.
So I decided rather than getting burnt out on weight loss like I always do I’d take a short break but keep an eye on my calories so it doesn’t get out of control
The break lasted until lockdowns started at which time I slowly got back into working out. Didn’t stop eating things I liked this time though just moderation
Over the month and a half of being at home I lost another 5 lbs. much slower than last time but I was eating things I like so I was happy. The only unfortunate thing is once I got back in the office because I’m in construction it’s the busy season combined with extra from delayed work, so I’ve not had energy or desire to work out BUT I can see the end of the overloaded tunnel. I have a week off in 3 weeks and I’m going to be buying a straight bar to sudo complete my home gym and am going to be working out again!
During my weight loss I’ve hit so many little milestones I’ve set for myself
Running for a full minute Running a full kilometre Losing 10 lbs Running 5 kilometres Losing 15 and 20 lbs Running 10 kilometres Chest being bigger than my belly Losing 50 lbs
Most importantly not hating the body I see in the mirror
I have gained about 3 lbs and can no longer run 10 km since going back to work but I’m not overly concerned I knew going into this it wouldn’t be a straight path
Right now I’m about 179 lbs my end weight goal is 170 and my final end all be all goal is to maintain that weight while enjoying food like I am now
There have been ups and downs but this journey has bettered and humbled me and I’m so proud of how far I’ve come, and the fact that for the first time in my weight loss attempts I’ve gotten back on the horse when I’ve fallen off!
